Opinion
Case Number 12-11296

ANTOINE WALLACE, Plaintiff, v. MICHIGAN COMPUTATION BOARD, Defendant.
Honorable David M. Lawson
Magistrate Judge Mona K. Majzoub
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION AND DISMISSING CASE
This matter is before the Court on the report issued January 25, 2013 by Magistrate Judge Mona K. Majzoub pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), recommending that the Court grant the defendant's motion for summary judgment and dismiss the complaint. Although the report explicitly stated that the parties to this action may object to and seek review of the recommendation within fourteen days of service, no objections have been filed thus far. The parties' failure to file objections to the report and recommendation waives any further right to appeal. Smith v. Detroit Fed'n of Teachers Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370, 1373 (6th Cir. 1987). Likewise, the failure to object to the magistrate judge's report releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). However, the Court agrees with the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the magistrate judge's report and recommendation [dkt. #14] is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that the defendant's motion for summary judgment [dkt. #13] is GRANTED.
It is further ORDERED that the complaint is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
